definitely wasn't a seal. havent seen any seals in the area since may. and theres no sign of them now.
i like the 50lb braid around here. cause it's one of those. "ya never know what your gonna get" areas. my buddies and i have landed about 9 different species and counting so far. i prefer the casting abilities of braid too. the 50lb power pro is the diameter of 12lb mono. i can cast it much further than the 20lb mono i was using before. i would throw 20 lb stuff on.. but thats even more like a razor blade when tight. it's over kill yeah.. but i've decided that with the benefits of the spool holding more line and getting better casting distance... over kill isnt a bad thing. would never catch me using 50lb mono. 20lb max. but if i can get better performance AND the extra of having stronger line.. ok.
tell ya one thing.. what ever took it the other day would have snapped 20lb mono in a second. either that or spooled me.
it's hard figuring out what it was considering the spot. some know it very well. all i will say is it's 35ft deep at low tide.. and nearly everything that goes in or comes out passes through it. so it could have been ANYTHING. highly doubt it was a seal though. from what i felt.. it didnt feel ""heavy"". like when bass fight it feels like pulling a brick in. a moving brick. where as blues feel like pulling in a small missile. you know what i mean. it felt more like that blue type. where it power came from its ability to move. as opposed to its power coming from being big and heavy.
